Druoca.rs should heed the war

DEMOCRATS should heed the warning
In Hewitt's letter, not so much In placing
itself in hostility to labor organizations,
as in checking tendency toward alliances
with elements which give temporary
strength but which inevitably bring
weakness and deserved reproach. The
laborer is denied rights which legislation
might give him and the party which will
conscientiously labor to secure him these
without becoming partisan of either
capital or labor, is the party which de-
serves and viii secure the support of the
conservative people of the land. But the
democracy is in more danger from coquet-
ting with other elements than labor. 1t
harloted with greenbackism when little
foresight would make plain the weakness
certain to result. But there was promise
of immediate returns and it was thought
wise to enjoy what the present offered
and swagger through the future as sol
der of fortune without heed to reputa-
ton.
And again when the saloon became
factor in politics, the democracy did not
stop to enquire into the justice or wisdom
of the proposed legislation, but acted on
the knowledge that the saloon controlled
votes and it was desirable that the dem
ocrats should have them. Now it is said
some propose to work up national feeling
on the question of preserving the ballot
box from all but American citizens. II
a hint could be given to those politicians
who are nursing booms by coquetting
with foreign nationalities, that, persons
of foreign birth or native who are citizens
of the United States, have a means of
Furnishing the scalawag politicians who
would make citizenship worthless badge,
it would serve a good purpose. There is
no demagogue more dangerous than one
who proposes to create a national feeling
in his interest.
